Top 3 things to do in French Guiana
Visit the Guiana Space Centre
French Guiana is home to one of the world’s most important spaceports, the Guiana Space Centre in Kourou. This European Space Agency (ESA) launch facility has been sending rockets into space since the 1960s and remains one of the busiest spaceports in the world. Visitors can take guided tours of the site, exploring the Ariane launch complexes, satellite preparation buildings, and mission control centre. If you time your visit right, you might even witness a live rocket launch—an unforgettable experience for any space enthusiast.
Explore Devil’s Island and the Iles du Salut
For a mix of history and stunning coastal views, take a boat trip to Iles du Salut (the Salvation Islands), a small archipelago off the coast of Kourou. The most famous of these is Devil’s Island, once a French penal colony that housed prisoners—including the famous Alfred Dreyfus. Although the island itself is off-limits, visitors can explore Île Royale, where the old prison buildings, ruins, and breathtaking ocean views make for an intriguing day trip.
